Thx, will have a look. not sure how much play is normal, or even what to have a listen for... what the noise should (not) be.

it makes the noise if I turn the wheels when either standing still or driving. I initially thought it was brakes and took it to a garage - they said the brake pads etc were all fine, did not mention any play in wheels, but did spot the steering fluid leak.

Hi, I have a LHD Disco td5 (nov.2000). When I turn left, there is a metallic screeching noise. All brakes are fine. There is a small leak from steering box - less than a tsp per day. levels all topped up. Any suggestions - if its the box, how long can I drive it - and what will eventually...

NEVER SAY DIE.... I won't give up entirely, just given up on Timken! amateurs. I'm still waiting on my hombre de formula uno. then, it's off to the campo man in antequera- though "bryan" does not sound so spanish?

I'm on the edge of giving up... have just had this message from the good people at Timken, the maker of the bearing: Dear Wendy, SORRY, TIMKEN HAS ASKED ME TO REMOVE THEIR RESPONSE

uhmm. is your TD5 from the States? I just had a bearing company come back to me saying it's not the right bearing for my year/car. (and that it was non-serviceable)... :confused:

okay then, so it's one timken bearing, and a tube of superglue. excellent, I'm off to the supermarket!

:clap2:YOU ARE MY HERO SIERRAFERY!!!!!! I'll see what I can find, and keep you all posted.

hi sierrafery- any measurements would be much appreciated. see if I can't get a bearing direct - can you see the bearing number anywhere (presumably you can't unless you can get it out of the assembly, but just on the offchance....) I will post any photos of replacement bearing, and...

cheers paul, that'd be great.

not far off. it's landy heaven do you have any contact details for the place in antequera. none of the bearing makers in the UK I contacted were interested. :5bbeatdeadhorse5:

can't take the credit myself - I have a man who can, works at a formula one race track... assures me he can do it - but only if I can get a replacement bearing... so far, I'm still looking- any ideas???

Does anyone know the part number, or where I can buy, a front wheel bearing for a TD5 (year 2000) discovery. the parallel type not tapered. I know it is usually sold as complete assembly (expensive). but I have access to full workshop with facilities for pressing out the bearing etc. - so, I...

hi- I've had a real expensive time with my Landy... please, I need good news... when I turn the engine over from cold, the clutch pedal vibrates. its okay when I press it down, but judders on release - sometimes. problem only seems to be in second gear. it has done this twice that were...

my ONLY symptom is noisy squeal. no oil burning anywhere. do you think that means I'm only in the early stages of turbo-failure, and that it should be alright for a while?

my engine is still stopping just fine - that was a worst case scenario warning (see the youtube in the earlier post - well worth a look. as was the viral of a model posing on the bonnet of a car that came up on youtube as the next link!)

i don't think I have any oil in my pipes. how do I check? I'm not burning black smokey exhaust - that's a good sign isn't it?

having seen the video -I'm not sure I'll be able to shove a rag in anywhere - you couldn't see a thing for smoke. Brings me to my next question: anybody know where I can get a cheap turbo! I had seen a link on here for island 4x4, but their price is now 435 pounds plus delivery/gaskets...

NOT SWITCH IT OFF!!! aaargh. okay, now I am panicking. if it won't switch off, what do I do???

Hello Andy, thanks for taking the time... I don't think its the manifold. I couldn't see any black soot around the manifold connection to the turbo. and, when I disconnected the turbo (after having tried disconnecting the fanbelt first - which is not to be recommended ever, as they are...
